Changelog

The last release before the public beta opens October 14: faster first syncs for large libraries, invites for the waitlist, and a round of fixes from private testing.

New

• Web:Waitlist invites. Accepting one sets up your account, plan, and library in a single step.
• Mac:Import an existing library folder or external drive during setup, with a size and time estimate before anything uploads.
• Mobile:Prod Crate for iPhone is open to every beta member through TestFlight.

Improved

• Mac:First sync of libraries over 100,000 files is up to 4× faster, and Finder shows folders before their contents finish loading.
• Mac:CLI 1.4 converts WAV and AIFF to FLAC before upload, so crate inbox --watch uses less bandwidth.
• Web:Key and BPM filters now stay set between searches.

Fixed

• Mac:Ableton sets saved to a pinned folder while offline no longer show as conflicted after reconnecting.
• Web:Folder uploads of more than 10,000 files no longer stall at 99%.
• Mobile:Playback no longer stops when the phone locks during a long stem.

Your library on your phone: browse, search, and stream lossless, or save sets and stems for offline.

New

• Mobile:Prod Crate for iPhone in TestFlight, with browsing, search, and lossless playback.
• Mobile:Save any folder, set, or stem for offline listening.
• Web:Share links for projects and stems on the Studio plan, with optional expiry and download limits.

Improved

• Web:Waveform previews for long files render twice as fast.
• Mac:Pinned folders show download progress in Finder.

Fixed

• Mac:Renaming a folder with an emoji in its name no longer resets its Finder icon.
• Web:The BPM filter no longer drops loops tagged at half time.

Pick any sound and find the closest matches across your whole library, plus duplicate detection across packs.

New

• Web:More Like This: the 50 closest sounds to any file, ranked by how they sound.
• Mac:More Like This in the Finder right-click menu.
• Web:Duplicate detection finds the same sound across packs, even when renamed, and keeps one copy.

Improved

• Web:Search understands enharmonic keys, so F# minor also finds Gb minor.
• Mobile:Previews in phone browsers start playing before the whole file loads.

Fixed

• Mac:Files with very long names are no longer truncated when opened in Logic Pro.

Pin projects and folders for sessions without Wi-Fi, and work with your library from the terminal.

New

• Mac:Pin any project or folder to keep it on your Mac for offline sessions.
• Mac:Prod Crate CLI 1.0: upload, search, and run crate inbox --watch from the terminal.

Improved

• Mac:Files that aren’t downloaded yet open about 40% faster, because they now stream in chunks.
• Web:Version history shows which device each change came from.

Fixed

• Mac:Unpinning a folder frees its space right away instead of at the next restart.

Drop files in the Inbox and they’re filed by instrument, key, and BPM in seconds, including Splice syncs and downloads.

New

• Mac:Inbox Sorting watches Downloads and your Splice folder and files new sounds automatically.
• Web:An Inbox in the web app for uploads you want sorted for you.
• Web:Pack-aware sorting keeps Splice, Loopcloud, and purchased pack names as tags.
• Mobile:The web app works in phone browsers, for browsing, search, and previews on the go.

Improved

• Web:Files the sorter isn’t sure about go to a Review folder instead of a best guess.

Fixed

• Mac:Zips in Downloads are unpacked before sorting instead of skipped.

Moves and renames are checked against your Ableton sets first, so every project keeps finding its samples.

New

• Mac:Project safety reads every Live set in your library and updates sample paths when files move.
• Web:Version history for every file, with one-click restore.
• Web:A recycle bin that keeps deleted files for 7 days to a year, depending on your plan.

Improved

• Mac:A missing-sample scan for existing projects, with relinking in one step.

Fixed

• Web:Deleting a folder that holds a project now asks before removing samples the project uses.

Every loop and tuned one-shot gets its key and tempo detected on upload, and search can filter by both.

New

• Web:Key and BPM detection for every loop and tuned one-shot.
• Web:Filter search by key, BPM range, instrument, and pack.

Improved

• Mac:Optionally add key and BPM to filenames, so they show in any DAW’s browser.

Fixed

• Mac:AIFF files keep their loop markers through FLAC storage.
• Web:Uploads resume after a dropped connection instead of starting over.

The first build: your library in the cloud, in the Finder sidebar, and sorted by instrument.

New

• Mac:The Mac app puts your library in the Finder sidebar, streamed on demand.
• Web:The web app, for uploading, browsing, and previewing your library.
• Web:Sorting by instrument and type for every uploaded file.
• Web:WAV and AIFF stored as FLAC, bit-for-bit identical on playback.
